Berghof Membrane Technology
Hall 12, Stand 216
Discover Berghof Membrane Technology’s innovative solutions for sustainable wastewater treatment, energy, and resource recovery at Aquatech Amsterdam 2025. Visit Berghof at Booth 216 in Hall 12 to meet the company’s experts and discuss the most sustainable solutions for wastewater challenges. As industries worldwide face tightening water stress, environmental regulations and rising water costs, efficient water treatment solutions are becoming essential. Cooling systems, boilers and process water circuits generate large volumes of wastewater with high levels of calcium, magnesium and silica. If untreated, this leads to scaling, corrosion and reduced equipment efficiency.
Water softening is the key to mitigating these issues, allowing for higher-quality water reuse and lower environmental impact. Traditional softening methods are outdated and inefficient, requiring extensive chemical dosing, large footprints and frequent maintenance. Tubular ultrafiltration (UF) offers higher throughput, longer membrane life, up to 60% of reduced footprint and superior resistance to fouling. By integrating chemical precipitation with UF filtration, companies can increase system reliability, extend equipment lifespan and significantly reduce water discharge. Invest in high-performance water softening technology to ensure industry remains competitive, compliant and prepared for future water challenges. Berghof’s membrane products, filtration concepts and services are available through the company’s international sales offices, regional representatives and OEM partners.

Haver & Boecker
Hall 12, Stand 415
Due to the need for responsible and sustainable use of natural resources, high-quality water treatment is becoming increasingly important today and in the future. Filters for water treatment must meet specific requirements. These include high flow capacity, precise cut point and stability, corrosion and temperature resistance, high dirt holding capacity and cleanability, recycling capability as well as sustainability.
The three dimensional high-performance metal filter cloth Minimesh RPD HIFLO-S opens up new dimensions for filtration, where conventional filter cloths have reached their limits. The open surface over an area is significantly increased due to the weaving structure. The medium‘s flow-through rate can be doubled when compared to conventional filter cloth having the same pore size, for example the Minimesh DTW-S.
In addition, the flow conditions are optimised and turbulence around the filter cloth is effectively avoided. The pore size within a batch can be calibrated as desired from 5 μm to 40 μm.
The new filter cloth can be manufactured from standard diameter wires. Therefore it is possible to weave special materials such as Avesta, Hastelloy, Inconel or titanium in the small pore size range, which previously had not been possible. Thus for the first time RPD HIFLO-S offers a corrosion and temperature resistant filter cloth with pore sizes below 40 μwm. The depth structure of RPD HIFLO-S offers a high separation effect without rapid blinding. Dirt holding capacity and cleaning capability have proven to be excellent.

BOPP Group
Hall 3, Stand 305
BOPP Group presents its latest innovations in water filtration at Aquatech: Betamesh-Plus and Composite-Plus.
The Betamesh-Plus filtered woven composite range is called Composite-Plus. These metal meshes offer unique advantages in wastewater treatment and help improve existing filtration processes.
Betamesh-Plus features pore sizes ranging from 125 microns down to 5 microns, making it suitable for a variety of applications. In contrast to traditional meshes with similar pore sizes, Betamesh-Plus overcomes limitations in flow rates and cleaning performance through optimized wire diameter and pore geometry, ensuring better flow capacity and improved dirt retention.
Betamesh-Plus boasts several key advantages, not least of which is its ability to maintain low pressure loss over time, even as the filter becomes loaded with particles. This is due to its slit-shaped pores and higher pore count compared to traditional twilled meshes. The design of the filter ensures that the filter cake primarily forms on the surface, making it easier to remove particles through pulse-jet cleaning. This reduces residual pressure drop and ensures lower energy consumption throughout the filter’s operational life.
Betamesh-Plus can also be configured as a composite mesh for demanding environments. The filtration layer is sintered onto one or more coarser support layers, enhancing mechanical stability without compromising flow rates. This composite mesh maintains high filtration performance while offering increased durability, making it suitable for harsh operating conditions.
Furthermore, the product is versatile and can be used in various water filtration applications, including primary filtration, storm overflow filtration, and tertiary filtration. It is particularly effective in highperformance inside-out filter systems.

Lanxess
Hall 12, Stand 608
At Aquatech, Lanxess is presenting its comprehensive product portfolio for current challenges in water treatment. The removal of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking and wastewater is currently a major focus. In Amsterdam, Lanxess is presenting solutions that use tailor-made Lewatit ion exchange resins to reduce the concentration of PFAS to the detection limit.
The company is also focusing on its innovative products for the preparation of ultrapure water (UPW), which is indispensable in the manufacture of micro and nanoelectronics. Semiconductor components such as processors and memory chips, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), liquid crystal (LC) and LED displays and photovoltaic modules are manufactured using these processes. Lanxess has the right resins for these and other UPW applications.
Lanxess also offers innovative products and solutions for the sustainable production of lithium-ion batteries. One application for Lewatit here is the purification of metal concentrates. Lithium ore, for example, can be processed using special ion exchange resins so that it can be used to manufacture battery electrodes. In contrast to solvent extraction, environmentally harmful, flammable solvents are not used.
Lanxess is also presenting an online-based version of its LewaPlus design software as a preliminary version for the first time at Aquatech.
Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes are of essential importance for resilient supply of water to many different industries. However, biofouling can affect the operation of membranes, increasing energy consumption and requiring operators to temporarily stop water production operations to clean or replace the membranes. The consequences of biofouling are not only costly, but biofouling and frequent cleanings can lead to shorter membrane life and affect quality and quantity of water production. Non-oxidizing biocides from Lanxess efficiently protect industrial membrane systems against microbiological fouling and ensure a reliable water supply.
